in thread What is your favorite alternate name for a (specific) keyboard key?
german keyboard layouts (QWERTZ), where the tilde originally was absent.
Are you sure? The tilde was available at least on all PC/AT keyboards I've ever owned since the 1980s.
Meanwhile it is on our keycaps, but I'm not sure about its "canonical" location
~ is usually (DOS, OS/2, Windows, Linux, *BSD) mapped to [AltGr] + [+*]. Macs, typewriters and home computers may be different.
